It bases at the east of Liuxi River National Forest Park.[1] The mountain was named of cockscomb for its summit and subpeak together looks like cockscomb in the distance. The subpeak, which rises to a height of 1,146.7 metres (3,762 ft) above sea level, is much more famous than the main peak. This results some people mistakenly used its height as the mountain's elevation.
